(firmenpresse) - PORTLAND, OR -- (Marketwire) -- 01/08/13 -- , the leading provider of IT automation software for system administrators, today announced that , the leading provider of hosted archiving and compliance solutions for electronic communications, utilizes Puppet Enterprise to help automate its IT infrastructure across its virtualized data centers worldwide.
Puppet Enterprise enables Smarsh to automatically and consistently configure, deploy and manage its mission critical application servers. The ability to automatically make changes and upgrades simultaneously across hundreds of servers ensures consistency and dramatically improves the efficiency of deploying new technology releases. Puppet Enterprise also enables Smarsh to simplify system configuration as the number of servers continues to grow and the customer base expands.
More than 20,000 customers depend on Smarsh to provide archiving and compliance solutions for email, instant messaging and social media platforms such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. Smarsh considered other IT automation solutions including Chef and CFEngine; however, the company chose Puppet Enterprise for its ease of use, automation and reporting capabilities.
"Puppet Enterprise has paid for itself multiple times over just in terms of how much time it has saved us," said Brent Jones, senior systems architect at Smarsh. "Puppet Enterprise takes five minutes to run hundreds of machines instead of the ten-plus hours it would take manually."
"Smarsh is a fast-growing company that needs to expand its infrastructure at a rapid pace," said Luke Kanies, founder and CEO at Puppet Labs. "Using Puppet Enterprise, the Smarsh operations team can focus on its top priorities instead of spending an inordinate amount of time on repetitive system administration tasks."
